"It kind of feels like a defeat with the way we've let it slip," said the right back. "It's not good enough. We were cruising at 2-0 up and in the second half I think we've just sat back a bit too much and they've got one which has given them momentum. "We need to do better as a unit to keep a clean sheet in the last five minutes."

"We have let another two points slip like last week," McCarthy said. "We have had two draws so far and that's not good enough. Each and every one of us knows that."

"We need to bounce back quickly. I am sure [we will do] if the fans get behind us like they did against Arsenal – they were brilliant."

On the transfer front, Everton are poised to make another addition to their front line with Samuel Eto'o poised to undergo a medical on Merseyside. The Cameroonian international striker, 33, left Chelsea at the end of the season and is reportedly set to sign a two-year deal with Martinez's men.
